I recently bought the "Harley XX" card and i absolutely loved it! It was a cool new concept that totaly refreshed iStripper. So, my suggestion to the team is to create more cards like this. Cards that include popular cosplays with the matching accesories. I know that a lot of members ***** about the price, witch was indeed a bit costly relevant to other cards, but if the team decresed the price a bit, i and i suppose other members would not hesitate buying these cards. The team could, for example, realese one of these cards once every month.

I saw the preview on Harley and its definitly a card i want, but i'm not buying it.

If people going to buy cards with jacked up prices, they are only rewarding them for doing so, and you can expect more of that. I dont see why this card is worth more then any other of the new cards, just like i did not see a need for the new credit system. The sheer notion of having more credits while the cards cost relatively the same, stupid mindgames i dont appreciate.

The costs per outfit are all different, and like all other cards these are just calculated into their budget, never mind the auction. The price is not related to the outift, they try to cash in on the hype, that's all.

Hey @Kaandorpius
Harley card has been much more expensive to produce and I give some reasons here

I was unable to locate the answer, why is this card more expensive than the norm?

By the way, all cards on iStripper have a price based only on maximum quality but if we would like to be fair, we would put a different price for each card, taking in account multiple factors like beauty of the girls, outfit, overall performance of the show, hotness (dildo, anal etc), celebrity of the girl etc.. as a result you would end up with a different price for each card, with some card under 25 credits and some over 25 credits.

I have always wanted more cards with costumes. Personally, I have been satisfied with the type costumes used in the past.

Costumes and fashion accessories that represent a specific comic book or anime character (Cosplay) would be nice, but if the costume is the only difference, then it is not really worth the extra money to me.

Now if the model attempts to play the part of the character and if the bonus pictures include poses that emulate the role of the character, that might be worth the increase.

I thought the "Harley XX" card was very well done, and I thoroughly enjoyed it myself.

I know alot of people have had issues with the price, and I myself was curious as to why it cost more,... HOWEVER, I felt that Totems response to said queries was more than adequate, and more than justified the increased cost of the card (I mean, the make-up was on point!)

Hence, you calculate your expenditures on a yearly basis, adjust your budget when necessary, raise/lower all prices making sure you cover your costs, not having to play around with individual pricetags. (avoids users from becoming more critical about spending credits)

So to be "fair"... the Harley XX card was more costly in production then a card featuring two girls performing sex including the use of toys?

This makes the girls sound cheap, the costume's expensive, and i'm sure the opposite is true. I could actually understand an increased price for Duo's or XXX cards, that would make sense, but VG/iStripper never did that.

You set out some pointers, and all are open to criticism, i mean Une Ligne Paris doesn't do cosplay, so unless you are a fashion mogul, why would you even...

Just say you want to cash in on the Hollywood hype, and its working. You invested in it, and its paying off like you expected. So if we are going to get more of this, i'd like to know.

The make-up? A white base, a black heart drawn with eyeliner, washable hair dye from the carnival shop... this not expensive it all. It makes no sense, doesn't justify a thing.

Actually, you've got a point, XXX cards should be more expensive as well. Besides, you probably noticed that we don't produce duos anymore and we release less xxx cards nowodys. But if we restart XXX cars productions, we might adjust prices.

That's not the components that are expensive but the time. Time to create such a makeup (not to mention the outfit!) and the time to remove makeup! Anyway, makeup is just one thing among all those I mentioned above :)

¡Esta Excelente! Pero no las dejen muy caras.

I think people understand the difference in value between regular and explicit cards, the pricing is a bargain in comparison, same for the duo's. But for a card like Harley XX, despite being a creative card and costly on your part, its just a regular card to the customer, and they shouldn't be concerned with what happens behind the scenes.

I wouldn't treat this card differently unless you are setting up a genuine category of cosplay cards targeted to a cosplay audiance, requiring specific and unique items and accessories that would increase your expenditures in general. But if this is a rare occurence, just maintain the price and spread out the costs.

This is just my humble humble opinion, hope you'll give it some thought.

Hi , I bought the harley card because i just signed up and I had 50 bucks and just had alot to pick from. I don't agree with the pricing and wont spend that much again for one girl. Although I must say she is infact hot and I hope more is to come from that model. We do need more girls in costumes like maybe an american indian , gypsy , goth chicks cmon guys, we shouldnt have to give you ideas. Oh and about the "takes alot of money to produce" argument. Gimme a break....... REALLY it takes that much money to get a makeup guy to splash pink and neon green Halloween store spray on a girls hair and some Halloween paint on her face???? that must have taken 20 mins top. Dont use that excuse please..... espescially when all the other models have had the same amount of makeup attention....

@i24567717

Make up was only ONE of several reasons given for the higher cost of this card.

You don't "have" to give them ideas at all. It's very possible that they've had said ideas in the past but haven't felt it would be worth it for them to attempt them. Of course, when you do voice ideas like this - and they've already been considered - it shows that someone IS interested in such an idea and may improve the chances of them coming to light.

Every time I see Ivana Sugar, I keep thinking that she needs to do a Game of Thrones outfit. With Red hair she would be Sansa Stark.

Ivana does look a lot like actress Sophie Turner. She could do a Jean Grey Phoenix cosplay too, they could name the show "XXX-Men" I would be her mentor, Professor Sex.

I think that Totem should be congratulated for continuing to experiment and try out new ideas.. Personally I would be willing to pay extra for exceptional cards, whether they be duos, or as suggested exotic costumes, It could be argued that Totem must be continually waying the costs of any artist etc against their profitability and honing their judgment skills in the process. At the end of the day it is we the customers who give the thiumbs up ( or down ) on the user experience, and as this forum demonstrates we have a huge range of preferences and tastes. IMHO one of Totems best and most erotic cards is the last that Lola made for them as a Desktop babe xxx Solo, which even though only in 720 is still worth every penny spent on it. ( even though the card doesn't place her in the this turkish bath in a St Petersburg Aristocrats palace.)
